Congure a NAS Cluster
You must congure two NAS controllers to a NAS cluster as a NAS controller pair; you cannot add just one NAS controller. However,
you can detach and attach a single NAS controller to a NAS cluster if you need to replace a NAS controller.
NOTE: The rst time you congure a NAS cluster, you are asked to accept an End-User License Agreement (EULA). You
cannot congure the NAS cluster unless you accept the EULA.
Prerequisites
Before you congure a NAS cluster:
• Satisfy network requirements:
– Enable jumbo frames on the switch ports used for the internal and SAN networks.
– Enable ow control on the same ports.
• Verify that a storage pool in the PS Series group has sucient space to store the NAS reserve and client data. The NAS reserve
contains NAS client data available for use by NAS containers, and internal capacity reserved for system use.
After you congure the NAS cluster, you can increase the size of the NAS reserve as needed.
NOTE: You cannot decrease the size of the NAS reserve.
• Verify that you have the following information:
– Name to assign to this NAS cluster
– Client network information
– SAN network information
– Password for the grpadmin account
Enter your NAS cluster settings in Table 42. NAS Cluster Conguration Settings.
